"Don Collins: Collins, 56, is wanted on failure to appear on robbery and kidnapping charges and a violation of parole on robbery charges. He is considered a violent offender with a history of kidnapping and robbery. He was initially convicted of those felony crimes back in 1987, and after serving time behind bars, he was sentenced to 30 years of probation. He has now violated that probation and has been on the run since July 2016. Detectives think he may have taken up residence in Panama City, although there has been no trace of him for the last two years."

Thoughts? As of this posting date (10/11/2019), Collins still shows as having warrants when searching the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's public access wanted persons search: pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/restricted/PAS/person/WantedPersons.jsf
Additionally, every few months or so there is usually a local online article about Lee County's most wanted fugitives, and Collins is usually mentioned. Hopefully he won't have to be mentioned sooner and can one day be finally be apprehended again.
